How to Simplify Fractions

By SC Editorial 2026-05-29 5 min read

Simplifying fractions means reducing to lowest terms by dividing numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor (GCF).

Steps to Simplify

For 24/36: GCF(24,36) = 12. Divide both: 24/12 = 2, 36/12 = 3. Result: 2/3. Use the Fraction Calculator to add, subtract, multiply, and simplify.

Why Simplify?

Simplified fractions are easier to compare and use in further calculations. 2/3 is clearer than 24/36.
